Businesses and business leaders are in a quandary today as we emerge from the pandemic. Many people worldwide have found themselves examining their priorities and the view of work is shifting.

The past two years created a unique time where the labor market is extremely tight and incentivizing is not necessarily going to be the most effective way to attract, retain and motivate employees.

This is especially true with younger generations who often have a different view of work and what it means in their lives. The younger generations are looking for authenticity in employers and managers. They take a more holistic approach in evaluating authenticity and they are looking for companies they see to be involved in their communities.
